Hello,
friends and neighbors. Browser here wishing you the finest spring ever – if we
get one! I know most of you believe that early summer is a time when allergies
spoil your fun in the sun, but consider this. Spring cleaning, the type that
causes blinds to come down and furniture to be moved, kicks up all sorts of
nasty particles including that old standard, “house dust”.

My advice to humans
who feel the need to clean in the spring is simple. First buy several boxes of
nasal tissue! You are going to need it. After that, go for whatever products
tickle your fancy. Of course it makes the most sense to tear up those old
t-shirts and mix a bottle of vinegar and water and have at it, but that would
mean you don’t get to go Shopping.
Spring cleaning is the best excuse ever to buy all sorts of colorful boxes and
bottles of stuff you’ve always wanted to try. Advertising people have been
working hard to get your attention.

Unlike Christmas, which is a retailer’s
dream, spring is the season cleaning product manufacturers live for! Celebrate
spring. While you are at it, buy yourself some fresh flowers to put on the
table, because it is going to be a while before any are in the garden and it
will help you to realize that it is indeed spring.

Check out
the krls.org website for books on “how to clean anything”. There are loads of
those. It will help you with your shopping list of products you can’t live
without.

Instead of
letting April fool you, fool April. Make a sunny spring sanctuary for yourself!

About Me

I enjoy meeting people. I moved into the Pine River Library in 2002 and have been there ever since. I love to sit with the kids at storytime and appreciate when someone opens the door for me. I only talk when I have something important to say. I will let you know when I've had enough attention! ;-) I enjoy meeting up with my friend Beau in the parking lot. I don't like it when he runs up to me out of nowhere. For a dog he's quite friendly.
